SADDLE BROOK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrow Fastener Company, LLC, the product line leader in manual, electric
and brad nail fastening tools for the professional building trades and
do-it-yourself markets, has introduced its new T50 R.E.D.™
professional manual staple gun and 1” brad nail gun. The T50 R.E.D.™staple gun is the first in Arrow Fastener’s new R.E.D.™
product line, which is an acronym for “Reliable. Ergonomic. Durable.”

A major evolution of the company’s T50® heavy duty staple
gun, the world’s best selling manual staple gun, the T50 R.E.D.™
will arrive in stores nationwide in October 2010. The T50 R.E.D.™
is the only manual tacker capable of firing a 1” brad nail. It features
U.S. Patented Drive Technology that enables the user to set a staple or
nail right on virtually any surface. It also offers up to 40 percent
more power than select competitive products on the market, which makes
it more versatile on the job site. Professionals and DIYers alike will
really appreciate that the T50 R.E.D.™ staple gun
is 50 percent easier to squeeze than the T50® staple gun
which results in less fatigue so you can keep working longer. The T50 R.E.D.™
staple gun complements the classic T50® staple gun which will
remain available in stores nationwide.

“The T50 R.E.D™ staple gun is easy to use and more
versatile and reliable than any staple gun or brad nail gun on the
market,” said Gary DuBoff, President of Arrow Fastener. “It’s also a
great looking product, with an eye-catching black and red design that we
expect customers will really want to bring home to their workshops or
out to the jobsite.”

The T50 R.E.D™ staple gun also features a high and low
power settings that allow you to adjust when working with hard surfaces
like melamine, or softer surfaces like an upholstery project in pine.
Professionals will also appreciate the quick load magazine that allows
them to efficiently re-load when they’re in the middle of a job.
